Every Mom needs a good mashed potato recipe
One of the mainstays of our dinner table was mashed potatoes.The kids liked making roads and gullies in them and plant the infamous peas and carrots (see previous post :-) But how can you make yours the best? Cholesterol is always a worry(at least at our house),so mounds of real butter and whole milk were a no no. So I hand to come up with a "secret ingredient".The way I made the flavor of my mashed potatoes different and yummy for my kids was to add a 1/4 cup of heavy whipping cream.I realize that this was cholesterol heavy, but 1/4 cup spread among 4 people was within the "OK" range. I used Yukon Gold potatoes too.These give a nice golden color to the mashed potatoes. To this day my daughter always says that my mashed potatoes were the best.Do you have a recipe for mashed potatoes you would like to share?
